The next day, at Shichahai Lake.
Gao Yan had just arrived when Lao Xu came.
Clearly, Lao Xu was deliberately waiting and making pronouncements.
Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Old Xu whispered, "Kid, could you get me a few more of that kind of fish?"
In the past few months, Gao Yan has sent Lao Xu fish from Minecraft several times. Lao Xu is also a veteran who has retired from the battlefield. He looks healthy, but he actually has many hidden injuries.
Before eating the fish Gao Yan gave him, his hidden injuries would flare up every now and then, but since eating Gao Yan's fish, his hidden injuries have never flared up again!
Senior leaders like Lao Xu have dedicated doctors who provide them with regular medical checkups.
After examining him, the doctor concluded that most of his hidden injuries had disappeared.
Old Xu is a smart man.
After some recollection, he realized that the disappearance of his hidden injuries was mostly related to the fish Gao Yan had given him!
This time, however, he asked Gao Yan for fish not for himself, but because an old comrade-in-arms had recently suffered a relapse of his hidden injuries and was being tormented by them.
So he thought he'd try sending two fish over!
"This won't be easy!"
Gao Yan shook his head. Although Lao Xu would send him some nice things every time he delivered fish, he didn't want to show off too much, lest he attract unwanted attention.
"Kid, let me tell you the truth, I have an old comrade-in-arms...!"
After listening to Lao Xu's words, Gao Yan hesitated slightly and said, "Lao Xu, I really didn't lie to you. Those fish are indeed difficult to get. Here, give me three days and I'll see if I can get you two more fish!"
Seeing Gao Yan agree, Old Xu finally smiled: "Kid, thanks, I owe you a favor this time!"
"Forget it, I don't need your favor!"
Gao Yan shook his head. It was true that Lao Xu was a big leader, but Gao Yan himself was also quite capable. He really didn't have anything he could ask Lao Xu for help with!
"You brat, someone wanted a favor from me and I wouldn't give it to them, and you actually look down on them!" Old Xu was furious, feeling somewhat looked down upon.
"So, am I the one begging you, or are you begging me?"
Gao Yan glanced at Lao Xu with a mocking expression.
Upon hearing this, Old Xu was speechless.
Two days later.
Gao Yan personally delivered three carp from Minecraft to Lao Xu!
Old Xu was overjoyed to see that Gao Yan had actually managed to get three.
He immediately ordered that two of them be provided with food.
I'll make fish soup with the other one and send it to my old friend right away!
Meanwhile, Gao Yan was also forced to stay by Lao Xu, who made him have lunch before he left.
However, it's still early before lunchtime.
Old Xu then pulled him into playing chess.
Only five minutes had passed.
Old Xu stared intently at the chessboard, his face showing a conflicted expression.
Gao Yan got up and wandered around Lao Xu's study, even taking a book from the bookshelf and flipping through it!
Ten minutes passed, and it was clear that Lao Xu had not yet made a move.
Gao Yan couldn't help but tease, "Old Xu, are you even capable? Why haven't you made your move yet?"
"Don't rush, let me think about it some more!" Old Xu said, his eyes never leaving the chessboard.
A few minutes later, Lao Xu finally made his move.
Without offering any profound thoughts, he casually placed a chess piece on the board.
Then Lao Xu started thinking again with a troubled expression!
An hour later.
The game is over, and Gao Yan has naturally won big.
But Old Xu, that terrible chess player, was unwilling to give up and insisted on continuing the game with Gao Yan.
"Old Xu, how about this, let's stop playing. I'll teach you a few tricks. Once you learn them, when you play against others, as long as they haven't figured out the tricks I'll teach you, you're guaranteed to win!"
Upon hearing this, Old Xu immediately became interested and urged Gao Yan to impart his knowledge!
So, Gao Yan first explained three strategies to Lao Xu, and then recreated several strategies on the chessboard, breaking them down and explaining them to Lao Xu in detail.
"Have you learned it?"
After explaining all the techniques, Gao Yan asked Lao Xu a question.
Seeing the slightly confused look in Lao Xu's eyes, Gao Yan was speechless: "Fine, I'll explain it to you two more times!"
For a moment, Old Xu felt a little embarrassed!
However, this time he was smarter. He took out paper and pen and wrote down all the steps. Even if he couldn't learn it now, he could study it slowly later!
After lunch, Gao Yan said goodbye.
But Lao Xu wanted to keep him here and continue explaining things to him, which Gao Yan was unwilling to do!
Without saying a word, I left!
Wouldn't it be better to go and spend time with Zhao Jingchu?
What's the point of playing chess with an old man?
I didn't expect Gao Yancai to leave so soon.
Old Xu's old friend has arrived.
"Old Xu, the fish soup you brought me this morning was amazing! After drinking the soup and eating the fish, all my aches and pains disappeared!" Old Chen said excitedly.
Old Xu was also happy for his old friend, and laughed, "It's not that magical, it's just your imagination!"
"fart!"
Old Chen scoffed, "Afterwards, I also had my cook make carp soup, but it wasn't as fragrant as the one you sent. And after drinking it, it didn't have that warm feeling. Old Xu, tell me, how did you make your fish soup like this!"
Hesitated slightly.
Old Xu said in a low voice, "The key is the fish, but that kind of fish is very rare, so don't go around making a fuss about it!"
"So you still have that kind of fish here?"
Old Chen's eyes lit up.
"There are two more, I'll give you one to take with you!" Old Xu said.
"terrific!"
Old Chen was overjoyed: "By the way, where did you get this fish?"
Old Xu said, "I had someone do it. As for where they got it from, don't bother asking. It's their secret!"
